Inline API Testing

Test your APIs on one click without leaving your active file window.

Usage steps:

  1. Install extension
  2. Write any API calling function
  3. A popup will be visible as Test API upon that API line
  4. Click on Test API
  5. The API response will be saved in a new api_response.json file

Features:

  1. Inline API detection (ts, js, tsx, jsx)
  2. One click API testing
  3. API response saving mechanism in json

Supported request format:

  • URL with query parameters
  • JSON request body
  • Headers object
  • axios config style requests
  • fetch request body

Limitations:

  • Cannot execute dynamic JavaScript logic
  • Cannot resolve runtime variables
  • Cannot evaluate functions inside API calls
  • Cannot fully interpret computed expressions
  • Limited support for:
    • getUrl()
    • process.env inside runtime logic
    • spread operators (...data)
    • Limited deep object parsing (complex nested structures may fail)

Example usage

Axios

axios.post("https://api.org/post", {
  name: "test",
  age: 25
});
axios.get("https://api.example.com", {
  headers: {
    Authorization: "Bearer token123",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  }
});
axios.get("https://api.com/users?id=1&type=admin");

Fetch

fetch("https://api.org/post", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    name: "test",
    age: 25
  })
});
fetch("https://api.example.com", {
  method: "GET",
  headers: {
    Authorization: "Bearer token123",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  }
});
fetch("https://api.com/users?id=1&type=admin", {
  method: "GET"
});
